Brief Summary:
This phase II study will test cancer to see if it has a HER2 mutation and, if so, see how HER2 mutated cancer responds to treatment with neratinib.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Breast Neoplasms Drug: Neratinib Drug: Fulvestrant Drug: Trastuzumab Procedure: Tumor biopsy Procedure: Research blood sample Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Overexpression of HER2 due to gene amplification is an established therapeutic target in breast cancer for which multiple HER2 targeted drugs are now available. However, the majority of breast cancers are without HER2 overexpression/non-amplified and not currently eligible to receive HER2 targeted drugs. Advances in tumor genome sequencing technology led to the identification of recurrent HER2 mutations (HER2mut) in approximately 2% of HER2 non-amplified primary breast cancers, and 3-5% of metastatic tumors. Importantly, tumor cells harboring HER2mut are sensitive to the anti-tumor effects of HER2-targeted agents in preclinical models, especially neratinib, a potent irreversible pan-HER inhibitor. However, neratinib monotherapy has demonstrated only modest single agent activity in HER2mut,, non-amplified metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Based on the hypothesis that the combination of neratinib and fulvestrant will be more effective than neratinib alone in ER+/HER2mut, non-amplified MBC the investigators conducted a single arm phase II study of neratinib plus fulvestrant with 2 cohorts, fulvestrant (FUL)-treated and FUL-naïve, for patients with ER+/HER2mut, non-amplified MBC to assess the anti-tumor effects of this combination. An exploratory ER-negative (ER-) HER2mut cohort was also included for the efficacy of neratinib monotherapy.

  3. Number of Participants With HER2 Mutation Subtype and Tumor Grade [ Time Frame: A time of enrollment ]

    -Cancer cells are graded when they are removed from the breast. The grade is based on how much the cancer cells look like normal cells.

    • A low grade number (grade 1) usually means the cancer is slower-growing and less likely to spread.
    • An intermediate grade number (grade 2) means the cancer is growing faster than a grade 1 cancer but slower than a grade 3 cancer.

In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.
